What could our kids be learning right now? Kindness, respect and a shared sense of purpose. We are all in this together. It's really important that we are supportive and kind to one another. Thanks for the reminder @Headspace #Backtoschool #FieldWorkFriday

"Come to the edge.. We can't, we're afraid! ... Come to the edge, ..so they came... And they flew" #BacktoSchool Our thoughts here are with all the families, teachers and kids returning to school tomorrow. Hang in there everyone!

@jmsperling That would be my guess too :) Did you know you can buy Green Lacewings as part of an IPM strategy? https://t.co/F0cY7U5eBI
I have a weakness for preying mantis myself...

Lots of interest during @MayflyShauna's presentation about the involvement of farmers as part of the process to determine beneficial management practices, especially now with #AGLivingLabs.

Shauna's presentation was excellent! We'll post some pictures shortly.

Well done--we're very excited for you, @MayflyShauna! 😊

Benthic macroinvertebrates (the bugs that we are interested in because they are widespread & both sensitive & tolerant, depending on the bug) are collected using kicknets! These are wide, rectangular nets that are deployed into watersheds. Cool beans!

Shauna's work is about beneficial management practices for agriculture in PEI. The aim of her project was to evaluate changes in water chemistry. Her work focuses on both historic and current data.

Very excited to be attending a presentation from @MayflyShauna at @UNBForEM this afternoon!

We have a little something different for you today: instead of a mayfly-related #TuesdayTune, we have a mayfly-related #TuesdayToon by @MickMastroianni of "The Wizard of ID."

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

We are BACK with an all-new #MayflyMonday, #SciTwitter!

It's a simple little fact, but still one that's pretty dang amazing.

#SciComm

[ThisLabMayfly @thislabmayfly]

Our own contribution to #FieldworkFriday features @EmHasMayflyCAD as she takes samples from our aquacosm to be used for future research projects (read more here about our aquacosm work: https://t.co/oTUSmDGYMs)

PS: Next year we promise it'll be goopier. 😉

Our 3rd pick for #FieldworkFriday is from @csunorthridge's Marine Biology Graduate Student Association & features @dmbeckerr, a MS student.

We ❤️ highlighting all the innovative and important work scientists are doing to help us better understand the world we live in.

[CSUN Marine Biology Graduate Student Association @CSUNMBGSA]

#fieldworkfriday @dmbeckerr is running photosynthesis-respiration trials to assess coral photosynthetic & respiration rates in both light & dark conditions when exposed to increasing temps to see how corals respond when they come from a low-nutrient or high-nutrient enviro...

[ThisLabMayfly @thislabmayfly]

Our 2nd pick for highlighting work done around the globe by scientists on this #FieldworkFriday is from @AnnaVincentMS, a PhD student in Biological Sciences @NotreDame. Anna studies stream ecology, water quality, and human-ecosystem interactions!

#Biology #SciComm

[ThisLabMayfly @thislabmayfly]

Long-term projects like the one described below by @Fuentes_MMPB, a marine conservation biologist with Florida State University's Environmental Science-Oceanography, Geology, & Meteorology (@FSU_EOAS), are incredibly important for research.

#Biology #FieldworkFriday #SciComm

[ThisLabMayfly @thislabmayfly]

After a bit of a social media hiatus we are BACK this month with all-new content. On Fridays, we like to highlight the fieldwork that biologists from around the world are conducting--because science is AWESOME.

Stay tuned for today's 3 picks!

Something magical was afoot @BiologyUnb this afternoon. @EmHasMayflyCAD used a transfiguration spell to change #HaroldTheCow into our very own Dr. Alexa Alexander-Trusiak!!! 🐄👀💫👩‍🔬

(But can she change him back? Find out next week!)

#HappyHalloween! 🧙‍♀️🧹#Biology🦇 #SciComm 🎃

[ThisLabMayfly @thislabmayfly]

Had a lovely chat this afternoon with @NancyHamzawi! Thanks, @ChrisWForbes, for your part in making that happen! 😊
